Overview

Key Features

The Social Sciences major at University of the Pacific is an interdisciplinary program that provides training in History, Political Science, Sociology, Economics and Geography. Social Sciences students learn both qualitative and quantitative methodologies in their exploration of human society. Graduates may pursue careers such as business administration, government, law, law enforcement, human resources, and public policy. The major is also designed for students interested in high school teaching and coaching. The major is aligned with the Social Science subject matter exam on the California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET), and successful completion of the major means that the California teaching candidate does not need to take the CSET in Social Sciences to be credentialed.

Eight courses that include one introductory course, one course in California history, two courses in world history, two courses in U.S. history, one course in the history of a non-U.S. country or region, and one course with a geography component.

Two courses that include one course in U.S. national government and one course that deals with either comparative politics and government; politics and government of a foreign country; or international relations.

Two courses which include one course that deals with the basic concepts of Sociology and one course that deals with either, structural analysis, social psychological analysis, or cultural anthropology.
